I must join you in your nail envy. My nails too, are paper thin. I have a hard time dredging up any concern for people who tell me their nails are so thick, they can barely cut them. Excuse me while I poke you in the eye.
Okay, girls, I can't identify. It isn't that I have thick nails. I think mine are thin, too, but really, if we type a lot? How on EARTH can someone with long nails type? So I keep mine so short that people probably think I chew my nails--which I don't. I think finger puppets are great. I also think you're the only one who ever notices your nails are short.
You know what else? Diann, your blog reminded me I FORGOT to blog yesterday!! ACK! Life's too crazy!
Oh! Toenail polish. If you can't have pretty fingernails, try polishing your toenails bright and attractive colors. That's what I do. Nobody cares but me...but I like seeing them.
LOL, Katie! You feel my pain. :-)
It's true, Cheryl, it's hard to have nails when we type all the time. But it sure would be nice to wear polish now and then. Sigh.
I wonder just how much Jello I have to eat . . . .
Someone said biotin helps nails. I've never tried it.
I got very long nails,short nails too. they come in handy to put up a barn, but thsy are kind of high $30 a boxs :)
but really Diann , my nail do the same as your with polishes
I didn't forget Cheryl, I missed your post yesterday ! :(
LOL, Jel!!! It took me a minute to get that!! LOL!
Well, I'm surprised no one with tough nails has come forward. I was hoping to find the secret to beautiful nails. Guess I'll keep my finger puppets. :-)
I'm glad ya got that ;)
my dad was always mouthing something off like that, guess I take after him :)
have ya ever tryed Knots gelatin,
I hear that works on harding nails
(do they even make it anymore) ?
Just keep them trimmed nicely and polish them to your hearts delight. It doesn't matter if they're long! They can still be glittery & pink (like mine are today!)
My only decent nails are me thumbs. The rest split, crack, break, have ridges and after years of angst, I gave up.
Now I flaunt my freedom from costly nail appointments, cuticle creams, and chipping polish.
NAKED NAILS ARE IN!
Man the battle cry, ladies!! Rally behind Di. She can be our banner gal. With the appropriate finger puppets, that is. ;)
ROTFLOL, Ane! I was so encouraged by your post, I wanted to stand up and salute!!!
LONG LIVE NAKED NAILS!!! WHOOHOOOO!!!!
I usually keep my nails very short and au naturel because mine are thin and tend to peel in layers. Plus, it's just easier to type if they don't extend beyond the end of my fingers. I may paint them on Saturday night for church on Sunday---but as soon as I get home, the polish remover comes out, because I can't stand it when the color starts to chip!
For special occasions, like conferences or weddings, I get the glue-on french-manicure nails---the kind that covers the whole nail. They look good, last about a week, and come off easily with acetone. They don't require sanding down what little nail I have for them to adhere. And they're less than $6 at Walgreens.
Oh, and I agree with Hannah Alexander about the toenails. I have all kinds of sparkly and brightly colored polishes for my toes.
I identify with you! I've tried everything I can think of over the years and nothing seems to help me. My nails just are paper thin and I can barely bump them and break them. I also tried the salon nails and was not successful with that either, if anything it made them even thinner. Never tried finger puppets, maybe I should!

Not only are my nails thin, but they are razor sharp! I've been known to slice skin with one little accidental swipe. I'm usually the victim of such accidents and my poor skin has plenty of tiny scars to show for it.
I also have problems with my nails curling and twisting if they grow longer than the tips of my fingers. Anyone else have that problem? I mean, we used to see circus members (part of the "freak" show) with super long and curly nails. But curling when they are an eigth inch long? What's up with that?
Ha!Ha! You crack me up! This was a funny post! :)
My point of view? I have crummy nails, but I don't care. I keep them short so that I don't get dirt under them. I polished them specially for the school banquet last week and no one (not even me) noticed. Ha!Ha! My issues are not with nails--they're with bad skin and giant pores. :(
I guess we all have things we dislike about ourselves, right?
Oh, Pam, don't even get me started on poor skin and giant pores. I call my pores "sink holes." It's just wrong, that's all. ;-)
aren't lemmons good for pores,
they have to bee sour lemmons to work they can't be the sweet! ;)
